THE LIE

A faint light spills

beneath your door,

A sonata

fills the air,

Your soft eyes:

contemplative,

numbed fingers

touch the chair.


Truth was no friend

when it revealed

That words masked what

I could not feel.


You own the smile that softens time,

Could words have worked, that smile was mine.
